Can antibiotics cause rheumatism?

In: Conditions and Diseases, Antibiotics, Rheumatoid Arthritis [Edit categories]

Answer:

I have Rheumatoidarthritis and I would say no, as a mater of fact arthritis or rheumatism can be exacerbated by infections in the system that cause inflammation. antibiotics are designed to stop infections. Personally from experience I would say that antibiotics have actually done something to ease the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. "Some times". However it is hard to make an accurate judgment on this because it has not happened to me often enough.
